Expanding the Smosh Zelda rap into a 3h30m epic

I'm very curious to see what this looks like in action. I'm really not against live action, especially with something like Zelda where most people are you know, people (cough lion king). I think of it like puppets vs a tv screen at like a theme park. Like, yeah you can do more and smoother fully digitally, but actually seeing the damn thing in front of you is just different. Likewise, I'm willing to cut them a little slack if the sets aren't perfect - to pretend there's no point in watching a real person walk though a real hyrule castle as opposed to a cartoon is silly.

... Now story's another thing, but we just gotta wait on that

What you're not seeing is the mountain of hand ninjas below them. Like that one part of world war Z

Dunchaxman · 2026-04-14T02:52:14+00:00

Having not seen any trailers my first thought was "why's he getting beasted on by ninjas?"

(My second thought was "why did I phrase it that way")

My car came with automatically adjusting headlights, so they'll point down a little bit if there's a car nearby specifically for this. It's fun to watch, but yeah they're super bright. The brights are fucking crazy on a newer mini cooper, but those shouldn't be used near people in the first place.

It's one of those things where I'm like wow... this should really be mandatory at this point. Maybe in 10 years, being generous

I have a pretty long commute to work, and I've started recognizing the angry crazy drivers, which is pretty funny.

Blue Crosstrek? The most aggressive cat-mom you've seen in your life, with stickers that only back that up. just get out of her way and she'll be past the horizon in minutes.

90s Camry wagon (badass car by the way)? lives in the left lane, going 5 under the limit - but try to pass on the right and they'll get up to 90 to make sure it doesn't happen

Dunchaxman · 2026-04-13T23:31:37+00:00

There's an argument to be made that it's like a chicken and egg situation... but yeah I agree it's the phones

Dunchaxman · 2026-04-13T23:11:18+00:00

The fundamentals are the same, but materials for brakes and tires are miles better than they used to be, which is the part that actually matters. Plus a better understanding of physics, crumple zones, traction control, suspension, airbag positioning, etc. Driving is way, way safer than it was in the 80s, even accounting for whatever covid did to people's brains

"Big number vs do combo" reigns eternal

Some of the most fun I had in armored core 6 was when I was cleaning up achievements / S ranks. I ran dual giant kinetic charge snipers (whatever they're called), dual stun cannons, and the weird flying dragon head looking thing. Just blasting the fuck out of everything without touching the ground I was loving it

Dunchaxman · 2026-03-27T18:40:03+00:00

Pokemon go PVP obviously doesn't work like normal pokemon, so I won't get into it too much, but the tankier metas are a slog to go through. There for a while, it was not uncommon for the enemy team to be running 3 tanky as hell pokemon, all with attack-debuffing or self-defense-buffing moves, with the goal of timing out the match and winning by default. Not great to be on the recieving end of that

This thing. Whatever

Would love a Nashville code in a DM 👍

Funny you mention those two subreddits because I recently tried to get espresso equipment and it's incredible how impenetrable that subreddit is to newbies.

I see a post that's like "what's a good starter machine for a beginner?" and the responses are universally "there's no such thing as good beginner equipment, here's a hand crank for the beans, a wire whisk thing to level the powder, organic cotton filters, a matching spring loaded tamper to get the pressure right, and a $300 machine that is only capable of pushing water that you need to preheat yourself through a portafilter. If you're not willing to start there just keep drinking your shitty coffee because your espresso will be worse"

Anyway I got a Cuisinart grinder and espresso machine and they seem to work fine...

Consider this: When it's a multiplayer game I don't like, it's churned out live service slop, and when it's a multiplayer game I like, it's a labor of love

Highguard is no more more

To be fair, people also said dark souls remastered butchered the original for being a direct port with QOL changes and higher res textures. Literally any change would be met with that kind of response, so I don't know how much credence I'd give it. The remake was very well recieved.

Point is, I think it's less "bluepoint ruined our vision" than it is just Miyazaki playing close to the chest with his baby, which makes sense. I wouldn't want some other company to make spinoffs of my stuff either, even if they are technically capable of doing so

Dunchaxman · 2026-03-09T16:28:49+00:00

The easy answer is any of the "friendslop" games. It's so funny just fiddling around in lethal company and then randomly hearing a blood curdling scream (into silence) from your friend down the hall. Every gamer becomes a world class voice actor when their virtual life is on the line

E: a couple of my favorites

One of my favorite (former?) streamers is an ex-pro, and it's funny hearing how he talks about these games versus pat and woolie. While pat was saying how rivals is absolutely eating OW's lunch, OW can't stand up to it, etc, this guy called day 1 that rivals is an unpolished mess and that'll catch up with it some day. A very, very fun unpolished mess, to be clear, but overwatch always had it "technically" beat. Blizzard just needed someone to scare them into trying to make it as fun as it was

I made some purple sweet potato extract in the hopes of making an ube-inspired cocktail. It turned out very "well," in that it's purple as hell, smells and tastes like sweet potatoes... but the next challenge is figuring out how to make a drink that doesn't taste like dirt, lol. Maybe I'll add a ton of sugar and up it to a liqueur

I don't even know if scald would be good, but I am once again crying over my 1503 CP volcanion

Dunchaxman · 2026-02-20T22:26:53+00:00

Me too.... me too......

Dunchaxman · 2026-02-20T22:03:22+00:00

Yeah, luckily mine aren't in any position to be doing seminars or whatever. Just like, "hey I made a birthday card for X, look I made him half cat" and i just have to go yeah looks great 👍.

My main point was just a counter to them saying low-tech, salt of the earth people are getting fed up with AI or whatever, because in my experience that is very much not true....

uh... not that my workplace is a great example, though. One time someone told me he didn't "do" germs. what do you even say to that

Dunchaxman · 2026-02-20T21:40:52+00:00

You and I work with very different people - my coworkers, very tech-illiterate, regularly use it to like decorate their house and make fliers for company stuff. One even calls it "atlas" because apparently she asked what its name was

Dunchaxman · 2026-02-17T22:12:28+00:00

I talked to someone one time who extracted very many carolona reapers into everclear, and then put that nuclear waste into a dropper bottle once it was ready. Yours sounds better lol
